Week 736: Fishing & Hunting Stories from the Great Lakes – Fish Hunt Forever

On this week’s podcast, we’re at the Association of Great Lakes Outdoor Writers 70th Annual Conference in Niagara Falls. We tell some of our fishing stories from our week out here including Dan’s huge King Salmon, but then we also chat with a few guys who have some incredible stories from their time working in the hunting and fishing industry. Tom Opre tells some stories about growing up in the industry, some of his concerns with outdoor media, and more. Then local Niagara River fishing legend Ernie Callandrelli sits down and tells us some of his best stories from years of guiding on this river and turkey hunting across the country. Joe Henry is here as well and talks AGLOW and Lake of the Woods. Even if you listen on the radio network, make sure to download the podcast for extended interviews and conversations!
